That said, you still might be wondering which one of these cars would make the best gift for the lucky recipient you have in mind. This breakdown should help you sort it all out.

Ferraris

The F430

Engine: 4.3 Liter V-8
Top Speed: 196 MPH
0 to 60 in: 4 seconds

The F430 was Ferrari's flagship model from 2004 to 2009. It has since been replaced by the 458 Italia, but that doesn't diminish the speed or sexiness of the car in the least.

The 458 Italia

Engine: 4.5 Liter V-8
Top Speed: 202 MPH
0 to 60 in: 3.4 seconds

The 458 was unveiled in 2009 as a replacement for the 430, and indeed this car improves upon the already unbelievable success of that model. But the 458 also incorporates new technology developed by Ferrari in its Formula 1 program, and that accounts for this car's even better performance.

Lamborghini

LP 540-4

Engine: 5 Liter V-10
Top Speed: 199 MPH
0 to 60 in: 3.9 seconds

LP 560-4

Engine: 5.2 Liter V-10
Top Speed: 202 MPH
0 to 60 in: 3.7 seconds

The 560 was rolled out in 2008 and was seen as a significant update to the 540, with more horsepower and improved steering, traction, and performance. Both cars are super fast but the 560 is clearly a top-of-the-line supercar.

Still having trouble deciding? That's OK! Why not let your gift recipient decide? Buy a Cloud 9 Living Gift Certificate and then let them pick out the super car they want to drive at their leisure!
